After taking a few days off and spending time with visiting family, I've been catching up on reading the latest real estate news and information from several sources which I subscribe to on a daily and weekly basis.
One of the articles that caught my eye is from the ActiveRain site, where real estate agents, lenders, instructors and coaches post their thoughts and suggestions. The following is titled: Top 10 Seller Sins, by Clint Miller from Missoula, MT.
While some of us have taken certification courses on "Home Staging" to help sellers understand how to show their property in the best condition for prospective buyers, Clint actually describes his thoughts "as a buyer" as he and his wife preview different properties.
Some of his descriptions are hilarious ... and also true, so enjoy! ;-)
